Meet the artists | Ngoc Nau


_Art Basel’s ‘Meet the artists’ series presents contemporary creatives shaping today’s cultural landscape_

Ngoc Nau grapples with a culture in flux. Identity, memory, and heritage form the thematic core of the emerging Vietnamese artist’s installations and AR films. In this episode of ‘Meet the artists’, we visit Nau in her studio – a room in a former factory on Hanoi’s outskirts – and wander the surrounding industry-wasted landscape as she reflects on the ways technology has become an omnipresent force in our lives.

During our visit, Nau also introduces us to the local folk tradition Đạo Mẫu, the worship of the Mother Goddess of the Three Realms. ‘Among those who worship the Mother Goddess are workers in the coal mining industry,’ she explains. ‘The ritual is a way for them to give back the fortune and financial gains extracted from nature.’

Ngoc Nau is represented by Vin Gallery (Ho Chi Minh City). Her works will be on view as part of Art Basel Hong Kong’s Discoveries sector and in our Online Viewing Rooms.
